Financial Benefits

Lesley University works with federal, state, and local veteran service agencies to ensure that our prospective students are aware of all educational benefits and financial aid opportunities.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs administers a variety of education benefit programs, each with a different set of criteria. The most widely used benefit is the Post-9/11 GI Bill, a program for individuals who served on active duty after September 10, 2001.

Lesley University proudly maintains 100% participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs program that makes it possible for eligible veterans to earn a degree for free. Learn more about Lesley University's participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
